Data Guard :: Implement Logical Standby Database For Reporting Purposes
Apr 14, 2010
I working on a Production Environment, where our Database is running on a IBM-AIX platform.I need to implement Logical standby database for reporting purposes, in order to improve the performance.Now the transaction and the reporting is done at the same site itself.I want to know that, operating system and platform architecture (RAM size, no. of CPUs, ORACLE_HOME etc..) on the primary and standby systems must be same or can be different. complete configuration for Dataguard. My os version is,
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bit
PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
CORE 10.2.0.4.0 Production
TNS for IBM/AIX RISC System/6000: Version 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
I have a setup where i have one physical and logical standby from a primary database. In case of switch over between primary and physical database my logical apply gets stopped. Can a logical database be applied from a physical standby ?
I got a primary database with a logical standby database running Oracle 11g. I got two client applications, one is the production site pointing to the primary one, another one is just a backup site pointing to the logical one.Things will only be written into the primary database every mid night and client applications can only query the database but not add, update nor delete.And now, I want to apply the latest patch on both of my databases. I am also the DNS administrator, I can make the name server pointing to the backup site instead of the production one.I want to firstly apply the patch on the logical one, and then the physical one.
I found some reference which explains how to apply patches by adopting "Rolling Upgrade Method". however, I want to avoid doing any "switch over" mentioned in the reference because I can make use of name server. Can I just apply patches as the following way?
1)Stop SQL apply 2)Apply patches on logical standby database 3)let the name server point to the backup site 4)Apply patches on the primary database 5)Start SQL apply 6)Let the name server point back to the production site
1.create a primary database 2.duplicate a physical standby database; 3.turn on flashback on both databases. 4.record SCN xxx on physical standby database. 5.convert physical standby to logical standby (using keep identity statement) 6.flashback to logical standby to xxx 7.convert logical standby to physical standby 8.using real time apply I got errors: Fast Parallel Media Recovery enabledManaged Standby Recovery starting Real Time ApplyMRP0:

We have 2 node (n1 nad n2 ) RAC and 3rd node (n3) with Dataguard logical database for reporting ..
1. logical database (n3) not syn with primary (n1,n2) 2. During repair above mentioned problem by mistake my logical(n3) also become primary 3. now how I will again change my n3 to logical 4. I got following error
RE: ORA-16009: remote archive log destination must be a STANDBY database
On next month i will have plan to delete history data on my Primary database, but i still want to keep them in logical standby as the data warehouse. So, how can i skip delete statement from primary database apply to logical standby.
Oracle SQL apply only support for Skip DML but not for keep delete statement
(on 10g and 11g)SQL>exec dbms_logstdby.skip(statement => 'DELETE',schema_name => 'SCOTT', object_name => 'DEPT');BEGIN dbms_logstdby.skip(statement => 'DELETE',schema_name => 'SCOTT', object_name => 'DEPT'); END; *ERROR at line 1:ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'SKIP'ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:PL/SQL:
Can i create logical_stand_by for windows server 2008, the primary data base is HP UX , both operating systems are 64 bits and data bases are Oracle 10g 10.2.0.1.0.
I am not able to find any document that shows steps to create a SINGLE INSTANCE LOGICAL STANDBY database for a 2 NODE ORACLE RAC database. I have found documents for RAC to Single Instance Physical standby database. But not for Logical Standby.
Details:
OS: Redhat 5 DB: 10.2.0.4(shared file system, not using ASM/Standby also file system) Status: Single instance physical standby database created, need to convert it to Logical standby.
I have One Production and one logical standby database . Due to tape problem we are unable to take backups of primary . And due to business , we cannot take back up on disk in hot period(Bank database ) .
If i take logical standby database backup(level 0 ) using RMAN , then will i be able to restore it on production dtbs (In case Production down) ? . Logical standby is in sync with primary .
I have dataguard configuration operating in maximum availability mode with a local standby db (A - lgwr sync not using real time apply) and a remote standby db (B - lgwr async). I then simualted a crash of my primary database with batch jobs running. Since the stby db A is in lgwr sync option ,all the commited data in the current online redo log has been transmitted to stby A and is present in its stby redo log (Group 2).How do I apply this stby redo log to the remote stby db.
Tried the following methods.
1.ftp the stby redo log to the remote db and tried to regiter it, got an error that it is not completely archived.
2.issued the recover standby database command and supplied the stby redo log when it asked for the sequence in the stby redo, got an error saying there is corruption in a block(tried this option multiple times ended up with the same result.)
If flashback is enable in physical standby database 1. If we failover at 11AM can I flash back NEW primary database to 6 AM ? 2. if I convert physically standby database to snapshot standby database at 11AM , Can I flashback snapshot standby database to 6 AM and do some works on it (DML operations) then converting the snapshot standby database into physical standby database ?
I want to get the execute plan of a sql in standby database(read only),but failed,how can i do?
SQL> explain plan for select count(1) from hxl.tb_objects; explain plan for select count(1) from hxl.tb_objects * ERROR at line 1: ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 2 ORA-16000: database open for read-only access
DB1 <Primary> - Production DB2 <Physial Standby> - DR
I will need to startup my DB2 in DR segment for testing.If i perform the below, will it affect my Production DB? I need it to be up and running as well.
DR: recover managed standby database cancel; shutdown immediate; startup nomount; alter database mount standby database; recover standby database until cancel; alter database activate standby database;
I need to drop standby database completeley and rebuilt physical standby for the same database. We identified there are lot of inconsistencies between primary and standby. How do i need to remove the standby? And what is the best procedure?
I was able to create the standby database on different server with the same name for the primary and standby database but I want to know that can I create a standby database with different database name than that of the primary database server.
creating the standby database from Active database using RMAN and getting the below issue after i executed the duplicate command.
Version of Database:11g(11.2.0.1.0) Operating System:Linux 5 Error: RMAN-00571: =========================================================== RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS =============== RMAN-00571: =========================================================== RMAN-03002: failure of Duplicate Db command at 12/21/2012 17:26:52 RMAN-03015: error occurred in stored script Memory Script RMAN-04006: error from auxiliary database: ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor [code]....
provide any work arounds to proceed further in creating the standby database.
I have installed oracle 11g standard edition one and created both primary and standby database. now i want to know how to switch(convert) primary database to standby database.
i have configured physical standby in my local system, to check logshipping i created a table at primary db, wen i tried to check in standby, it says table does not exist..below are primary & standby alert entries..
Primary alert log
Fatal NI connect error 12514, connecting to: (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=172.16.0.98)(PORT=1522))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVER=DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME=STAND)(SERVER=dedicat ed)(CID=(PROGRAM=d:oracle11gappadministratorproduct11.1.0db_1inORACLE.EXE)(HOST=A960M)(USER=SYSTEM))(SERVER=dedicated))) VERSION INFORMATION: TNS for 64-bit Windows: Version 11.1.0.6.0 - Production
1) scn differs wrt primary in standby (i checked, 1day difference), how to make scn same?
2)i created a table in primary, its not refelecting in standby, (below i ve pasted alertlog entries)

3)wen i try to open standby database in read only mode gives below error..

I was using physical standby but my primary database had had some HW issue.So I had activated standby database to handle production.During 3 months, standby database was our live database and our old primary was unavailable.Now HW issue on primary has been fixed.And I want to set again my old configuration : means set primary and standby db.
I have set up a single instance standbys for rac databases. Now, I need to offload the backups from the primary on to the standbys.
1. cancel managed recovery
2. connect to target(standby) and catalog and backup the standby
3. put standby in managed recovery mode.
I think following these steps, I can restore primary(?). Now, My question is, how can I use these standby backups to clone/refresh databases? I tried it by connecting to target(primary), catalog and auxiliary but rman is using the primary backups instead of standby's to refresh the auxiliary database.
